However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFBWhPS9HxQb37XmcRAn+LAJ4oGKLKUv83m5x2pc4B8GD2mn2O2wCg2Qei aPWDWEa+MTxd25CCPB0NZVw= =hs71 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
